Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said that if the House Judiciary Committee’s investigations into President Trump lead to him eventually being impeached, “so be it,” during an interview with Fox Salt Lake City that aired on Tuesday.

“Democrats, led by House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, are carpet bombing the White House with document requests, seeking information on dozens and dozens of White House officials, presidential advisers, and Trump family members,” the Fox station reported.

“We need to act effectively to end the corruption and lawlessness, but if it leads to impeachment because there is evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors that actually undermine the fabric of our constitutional democracy, then so be it,” Raskin said.

Raskin sits on the House Judiciary Committee where impeachment proceedings against Trump would begin.
